In a move that will thoroughly shake up the Oscar race, Paramount Pictures has snagged the U.S. distribution rights to the hottest sales title that played at this year’s fall film festivals, an across-the-board contender called September 5, The Hollywood Reporter has exclusively learned.

 

Peter Sarsgaard, John Magaro and Leonie Benesch star in the third feature from director Tim Fehlbaum (The Colony and Hell), a dramatic thriller about ABC Sports’ coverage of the 1972 Munich Olympics terrorist attack in which Palestinian militants took hostage Israeli athletes. The resulting standoff became the first live-televised coverage of an act of terrorism, with all sorts of accompanying moral and ethical dilemmas for the journalists on the ground, including ABC Sports’ legendary chief Roone Arledge (Sarsgaard), the network’s young coordinating producer for Olympics coverage Geoff Mason (Magaro) and a German national who helped them navigate the language and culture (Benesch).

I hope they start marketing this. A trailer would be nice since we are less then 2 months out. This has a great premise.
